Occasionally I'll post an update with past threads regarding what is an acceptable price by the saudi's and it's an amusing depiction of goal-post moving. 40-50 bucks is okay for them, then it slowly moves up to 80-90 bucks is okay, etc. And this is over a very short period of time.
we are never told the truth, we are told what they feel they can get away with in soaking the American gullible public.
now we are at the "acceptable" level of 95 bucks and people think and believe this is now low.
In a couple of years oil priced over 100 bucks will be thought as normal and acceptable. No one appears to look in the rear view mirror anymore. It's as if the American public are like hungry dogs who have no memory of their last meal and are completely satisfied with what is in front of them.
One day soon, the average price per gallon nationally will be, instead of "3.19"
which I think is a total crock), will be 4.19.
the most interesting part about this whole testing of the publics will regarding how much we will put up with the cost of gas is; rather than organizing and demanding accountability, we roll with it, adjust our budgets up, cut back on things and grumble at the pump.
